Yes to all the above please

See ya there

Mark. When I was researching for the duratec the me221 was the version that did the usual Ecu stuff with a built in vvt controller and lambda control too. It also did some other stuff too That I didn’t need. I went down the the route of microsquirt but might be worth speaking to Stu (the duck). Mega squirt might be a route to consider and he knows his stuff on them.

Is it possible your water pump has failed if everything has been working up to now?

Definitely see you for the next one, very much hoping to be in the kit!!

I will be there for breakfast

You can buy adapter plates to make the type 9 fit the duratec. Might be cheaper and easier depending on what the overall plan it. I went the mx5 route but it is not 100% straight forward as you need to change starters clutches and flywheel to all match and does and Mazda parts not work together.

I had exactly the same issues on my pinto and it turned out to be the fuel regulator had failed and was flooding the engine. Worth a check

Hi Dan. I did the same before my Iva a few years ago. The emissions were ok after a bit of a fiddle but also used the brake rollers to try and bed in the brakes as they were new parts. It was useful but the car still failed the brake test on the rear drums along with a few other bits. My local garage is at the end of my road and is a guy I use regularly so he knew of the car and what I was trying to do. ‘MOT’ is worth doing if it can be done legally but won’t high light or fix all issues. Rolling road is the only sure way on emissions and then performance. Good luck with the IVA Steve

See you there

Cool, will see how I get on.

Hi Andi I am working in Telford Monday night, so depending on what time I get finished I might pop over for a visit. What time do you normally stay until? Cheers Steve

Me and Bob will be there.

See ya there

Mine used to make a right noise until i fitted it on some rubber bobbins.

Hi Send me a PM with your email (the file is too big to attach to the post) and I can send over the premier loom instructions what has all the fuse ratings per circuit. According to my information the horn and brake lights are on different fuse boxes? They are both 15a fuses though. Cheers Steve

Yeah. Hinges have dropped a bit! It's on the to do list!

Finally got round to putting up my big RHOCaR sticker. Makes a rather dull garage a little bit brighter!

Can we add Bob and Di to the list please. Thanks

Shame you are going to miss it, but I am sure there will be other runs out. I for one would love to do the Elan Valley trip. Top Gear used the roads back in the day and I have heard good things about it. Catch up soon.

Please count Dee, Paige and myself in Thanks

Have a look at the range from SJ Cams. I have one and it is very good and the more recent versions have loads of features. Cheers Steve

Hi Rich. Can't make Sunday as have to go put up some fencing. Call you later
